Well, if you're really interested in a machine with those specs, check out ebay.
I would do a search on 'dell precision'. But honestly, I wouldn't recommend
anything less than say a 900MHz P3 with 256MB memory if you plan on
using XP with it. I picked up a 600MHz P3 (ibm) for about $89 off ebay. I
was basically buying it for a friend to access the internet to access e-mail.
I had initially put XP on it, but it was dog slow. After downgrading to Win98,
the box worked great.
